英文摘要 | Basin‐integrated precipitation minus evaporation (P‐E) in the Pacific is near neutral while the Atlantic shows net evaporation. We link this PE asymmetry to atmospheric moisture fluxes across the boundaries of the ocean drainage basins. Adopting an objective approach based on a comparison between actual fluxes and a zonally averaged circulation, we show that the asymmetry is dominated by moisture fluxes associated with the monthly‐mean flow at low latitudes rather than by differences in moisture fluxes into the Southern Ocean and Arctic catchments. In boreal summer, the eastward moisture flux, due to the Asian Summer Monsoon flow opposes the zonal mean westward flux in the Trade Winds and results in more positive P‐E over the Pacific than both the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, even in the annual mean. Our analysis reveals that moisture flux across Southeast Asia, rather than across Central America, is the dominant factor in the P‐E asymmetry. |
